What was your "first dance" song?

Newly engaged so I am over-thinking all these things at the moment...!
Me and my DP are not lovers of attention but do want to do a "first dance" at our wedding. It might sound an odd choice but I think "Fix You" by Coldplay would be great - lyrics aren't the cheeriest but it's so emotional and has the lovely climactic ending.. is this a rubbish choice? What did you have? We don't have any significant suitable songs that lend themself to the task!!

Inxs - never tear us apart.

Congratulations OP!

We had Let it Be Me by The Everley Brothers. Love the first line 'I bless the day I found you'.

I wanted Who's Sorry Now by Connie Francis, just to see my Mum's face but DH gently suggested it might not be a good idea....

Come On Eileen. 1st marriage. 1983. Our reception was a disco.
Second marriage, 1995, was a pub lunch and my best friend who was a folk singer sang for us. No dancing.

My first, my last, my everything Barry White-great lyrics with an upbeat tune so not too icky and we just twirled and twirled! 🥰

I love you, always forever by Donna Lewis.

We heard it sung in a restaurant just after we got engaged and since I love a big 80s / 90s ballad anyway, that was the one.

Very underrated song. Successful at the time but I hardly ever hear it on the radio nowadays. I listen to it/watch the video on YouTube quite often.

This is lovely

Sade-by your side 🥰 apparently it's a bit sad but it's a song we both love

Tirrrrred · 24/11/2022 22:23

Mine is so cringy. We didn't have a "song" we didn't even want to have a first dance. We picked a song that was popular at the time. All of me loves all of you. 8 years later I still can't listen to it!!

Emsb2022 · 24/11/2022 22:23
